Some frequently used words
This is what a unit of information is called when it is displayed on the picture.
Field
A field contains, for example, the name of a patient or the current date or cur-
rent time. A picture is made of a number of fields, and each field can be
placed anywhere within the picture. A field also contains information about
how the information should appear on the picture, for example the size of the
text.
A pixel is a small dot of which all characters are built on the display. Position
Pixel
on the display is given in pixels. To be able to calculate how much information
will fit into the window, you must know the following.
The C1 window is 64 pixels high and 240 pixels wide.
The C1N window is 48 pixels high and 240 pixels wide.
A character is 16 pixels high and 12 pixels wide, if the large font is use.
A character is 12 pixels high and 9 pixels wide, if the medium font is use.
A character is 8 pixels high and 6 pixels wide, if the small font is used.
The appearance of the text on the film/display is determined by the font se-
Font
lected. Currently three fonts are available, LARGE, MEDIUM and SMALL.

Place
This fieldlist shows all fields that are defined for selected picture. The up and down keys can
be used to step through all fields. The window will automatically scroll to display more items.
To add a new item, place the cursor on the position where you like to add a field and press
the NEW soft-key. This will make the Network ID Camera duplicate the field at the cursor
and you can then edit one of the copies as you wish. The maximum numbers of fields are
50 for each window.
To remove an item, place the cursor on the field you want to delete, and press the REMOVE
soft-key. This will immediately remove the selected item.
To move a field (i.e. give it another position on the picture printed on the film) press the
PLACE soft-key. This will bring up another window where the selected field is displayed as
a white box representing the size of the field, and all other fields are displayed as other
strings of characters selected to represent the type of the field (D for date field N for name
field). The current field can now be moved by the four arrow keys. If shift+arrow key is
pressed the field will step 6 pixels left/right and 8 pixels up/down. When a good position is
found just press the enter key to leave the window. Experience has shown that this is a good
method of finding out where to place the field. It is, however, difficult to find the exact posi-
tion, as the fields are often placed one or two pixels off. Therefore, the optimal procedure is
to place all fields using this method, and then to check all positions manually and correct
them by entering their positions by numbers as described below under "Editing a field".
